List what will remain in the kitchen
Ann Arbor Handy's services page distinguishes lighter kitchen updates from a full kitchen remodel. Use that distinction to frame your inquiry: keeping the present arrangement while changing selected finishes is a different starting point from redesigning the room. Official source.
List the cabinet boxes, doors, work surfaces, appliances and layout elements you intend to retain. Show their current condition and describe the function or appearance you want improved. Avoid treating a photograph of an attractive kitchen as a complete specification for your own space.
Give finish choices and layout changes different decisions
Put finish selections and proposed layout changes in separate groups. If a product has already been considered, provide its details but identify anything that still needs assessment. A reference dimension is useful context, not a substitute for confirmation before purchasing.
Ask the business which decisions are needed first and how unknown conditions would be handled. Make the intended boundary of the refresh explicit so a small appearance change is not confused with authorization for wider alterations or replacement of components you wanted to keep.
Questions about this project inquiry
How do I describe a kitchen refresh to Ann Arbor Handy?
Name the cabinets, layout and components you want retained, then describe the specific change in appearance or function. Ask the business to assess whether that scope fits a lighter update.
Should layout changes be mixed into a finish-only request?
List them separately. A layout change can introduce decisions outside an initial finish request, so ask for its effect on scope to be explained before treating it as included work.
